Shikkaku Mon no Saikyou Kenja~ Sekai Saikyou no Kenja ga Sarani Tsuyoku Naru Tameni Tenseishimashita~ Chapter 124

"This should do for now . "

I thrust my sword at the swinging arm of Void Eater, smash a magic stone and augment it with 【Special Mana Enchant】 .
And then a relatively sturdy barrier unfolds near the back of the sword and I augment the sword with another enchant .

--Right afterward, Void Eater's arm plunges into the sword .
The barrier was destroyed instantly along with a loud roar, the Void Eater's arm passed through the space where the barrier was--and flew in the air .

" . . . Ga?"

Void Eater looks at its own arm while looking like it can't catch up what's going on .
There is no arm from elbow down .

"Maybe I should have strengthened it a bit more . "

I checked the sword out while saying that .
No chips on the sword nor it is off center .
Looks like it's rigid enough .

"I-its arm, in one blow . . . . What happened just now!?"

While standing in mid-air, I could hear Alma's voice from far away .

"I fortified my sword with barrier for an instant . Countering gets easier the stronger the attack . "

. . . . That said, though it looks simple at a glance, this method is quite annoying with many adjustments necessary .
It's pointless if the barrier is too weak, but too strong and the sword will be damaged .
This technique isn't really usable unless the enemy is huge and sturdy .

"So you can use counter against monsters . . . "

"It's actually easier than against humans since their move set is simple . You need to pay attention since they excel in power though . "

If my opponent is a human, I have to see through their way of fighting first before predicting the direction of their sword swing .
But in case of monsters, I get it somehow by reading their mana and muscles movement .

"No no, you can't normally deal with the strength of a monster just by paying attention okay!?"

"Besides, look at the size of the opponent . . . . "

Ruli said that while looking up at the Void Eater who lost one of its arms .

"Do you think so? If they only have strength then . . . "

"Yeah . There's countless way to deal with enemies that only excel in strength . "

A truly strong opponent, one with a certain degree of intellect at least regardless if it's a monster, would be more trickier to fight .
Incidentally, those kind of enemies are way more fun to fight .
No matter how much strength it has, fighting something that has no intelligence will always end up being simple .  

"These people are beyond help already . Their standard is broken . . . "

"Iris-san is a dragon rather than human though . . . . "

While having that conversation, I cut the regenerated arm that came swinging at me again with my sword .
Guess it's more a front leg than an arm though .

Yup . It's really simple .
Even though I can safely use 【Special Mana Enchant】 up to five times in this open place, there's really no need to use it to the limit .

In fact, the Void Eater already looks exhausted from just losing two huge parts .
--And then .

"Iris, is it ready now?"

I glanced at Iris .
It's a confirmation rather than a question .

Judging from the mana reaction, I already know that Void Eater's back leg that Iris attacked earlier is at its limit .
Even though Iris's spear can't cut off a limb in one hit like with the sword counter, it still has quite the destructive power after all .

"Yes! I can make it fall anytime now! I think!"

"Alright, let's go at it right when this thing makes it move!"

"I understand!"

The Void Eater made its move right when our discussion ended .

"Here it comes, now!"
